An adoption profile, also termed "Dear Birthparent Letter" or "Adoption Resume," is a written description with accompanying photographs of an adoptive parent, couple or family who are seeking to adopt. When an adoption professional is approached by prospective birthparents who are seeking an adoption plan for their child, they give the birthparents a number of profiles to consider that match the birthparents' criteria for the kind of family they are seeking. This results in a "match" between the family seeking to adopt and the birthparents seeking to make an adoption plan. Therefore, it is extremely important for adoptive parents to present themselves in an honest and attractive manner by choosing the right words, photographs and graphic design for their profile!
First impressions are extremely important. If a prospective birthparent is presented with two or more profiles with the same family criteria, he/she is more likely to choose the one that is well thought-out, organized, creative, and attractive and shows a labor of love! Having a unique and polished profile is the key to being chosen!
